Violets For Your Furs Lyrics - Lady In Satin - Billie Holiday

It was winter in Manhattan 

Falling snowflakes filled the air 

The streets were covered with a film of ice 

But a little simple magic that I'd heard about somewhere 

Changed the weather all around, just within a trice 

You bought me violets for my furs 

And it was spring for a while, remember? 

You bought me violets for my furs 

And there was april in that december 

The snow drifted on the flowers and melted where it lay 

The snow looked like dew on the blossoms 

As on a summer day

You bought me violets for my furs 

And there was blue in the wintry sky 

You pinned the violets to my furs 

And gave a lift to the crowds passing by 

You smiled at me so sweetly 

Since then one thought occurs 

That we fell in love completely 

The day you bought me violets for my furs
